As fresh scrutiny surrounds Boeing after the Air India AI 171 crash, aviation expert Mary Schiavo reveals that a similar fuel cut-off malfunction plagued a Japanese Boeing 787 in 2019 — with pilots never touching the controls.

International airlines from South Korea and India are preparing to inspect its Boeing fleets following findings from the Air India crash investigation.

The first officer asked the more experienced captain why he moved the switches to the "cutoff" position after it climbed off the runway, the report said.

Campbell Wilson told staff in a memo that the pilots had passed a mandatory preflight breathalyzer test.
